Study for a Bachelor's in International Business in Rome

The Bachelor of Arts in International Business is based on the core structure for
all business administration majors but is distinguished by a further emphasis on international
business, giving students the chance to explore specific issues of doing business
in a globalized world, including those of a political and economic order, as well
as those related to specific situations in marketing and management.

In keeping with the tradition of American business education, the program provides
students from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds with a challenging business
curriculum in the context of a dynamic learning environment. Required courses are
balanced between the theoretical and practical. Small class sizes permit most of the
upper-level courses to focus on active learning through class discussion and teamwork.
All courses emphasize the importance of clear and accurate communication, both written
and oral, and require projects, reports, and/or formal presentations.

The final course of the international business program is a capstone course, International
Business Seminar. This course is taken by students in their senior year, to integrate
the principles, concepts, and techniques developed in earlier core courses. In this
course, students examine issues regarding the strategic management of enterprises
competing in a global environment. The International Business Seminar makes extensive
use of the case-study method of teaching.
